steam hunt begins tonight

Sunday, February 28, 2010

The second annual STEAM: The Hunt begins today! STEAM, The Hunt, the most popular and successful Steampunk and Neo-Victorian merchants hunt starts off with a kick-off party at the HMS Rustbucket, from 6 to 8 pm SLT, in Mieville Doyle (just follow the SLurl to the Rustbucket)!

To outline STEAM, I’ve taken the liberty of re-printing their narrative…

STEAM: Steampunk Travelers’ Event, Adventure, and Megahunt!

Welcome to the second STEAM: the Hunt! This event will start March 1st and run until March 31st, 2010. The gifts will remain available for the entire month, if you can find them!

There will be many Steampunk-themed gifts to find, hidden throughout the grid, in the participating shops. You’ll be offered a variety of gifts as you search for the hidden items. Only high-quality designers have been invited to participate, and their exclusive items will be available only the duration of the hunt.

As with most hunts, you’ll be given a starting location. That location will give you a LM to the next, and so on. Although you can begin anywhere, we suggest that you start here:

We ask you these favors:

Please do not contact shop owners directly. All inquiries should come to Perryn Peterson in the form of notecards as IMs are frequently capped. There will be a website and blog as well.
